I have found some blenders that I think will work good. And I have the gold embrodiery thread for the uniforms. the quilting will define the uniforms and the shaded areas. If I don't get the effects I want, I've got a seam ripper. So, I can just keep trying til I get it right. Yall have all had some great ideas and input. I like the idea of the doll store. I think I'll check that one out.

Do not chuck it. Just think about it for a while and it will come to you. I paint and I do faces they are not that hard. practice on scrap for a while. use the medium you are comfortable with . I don't know how large you want to make it but ,I would like to suggest you make it a bet smaller then it might come together better. Keep up the good work, don't stop. Josie

Definitely blank. I actually think it adds to the poignancy of the message of the quilt. The focus will become the flag-draped coffin, not the "artwork" of the Marines' faces. As the mother of two active duty, your idea gives me chills and I hope whomever you are making the quilt for finds some peace in its comfort.
